Why West Valley City restaurants are switching to direct ordering
West Valley City restaurants that rely on DoorDash and Uber Eats pay 15-30% of every order in commissions. For a restaurant doing 400 orders per month at $30 average, that is $3,000 per month going to platforms instead of your business. Direct ordering flips that equation: you pay a flat monthly fee, keep 100% of order revenue, and own your customer data for repeat marketing.
West Valley City's diverse restaurants are often undiscovered by the broader Salt Lake market; digital ordering presence helps them reach customers beyond their immediate neighborhoods.
